Welcome to BunTool!

BunTool is a simple tool for creating PDF bundles from several PDF files.

Written by a lawyer for use in court, it's perfect for making court bundles in the English court system. The tool will automatically tab, index, paginate, hyperlink and bookmark the output file in a few seconds. The default settings comply with the guidance for most courts, but there are lots of options to customise the output.

Just enter the details, upload your files, choose any options, and click "Create Bundle" below. The PDFs will be combined,

BunTool is free and open-source, meaning that you can freely use, download, and modify it subject to its licence terms: for more information, see the bottom of this page.

Upload the individual PDFs to be combined into your bundle.

Sort your index by clicking the table headings, or drag to reorder in the table.

Step 4 - Create Bundle and Download

Free and private

BunTool is free, open-source, and private. It's primarily a software tool designed for you to download and run it offline. This is a live instance of it, which is free for use (but as with any web service, it is not as secure or private as running it yourself). All files are processed on a private server and are automatically removed as soon as as your bundle is created. The bundles themselves are deleted within a few hours of creation.

Some logs are stored, but again they are only stored for a few hours. The logged information includes only: the number of files uploaded, the number of pages in each file, the number of bundles created, and any text input for the index (as well as some basic information like the date of processing and the browser type, but nothing personally identifiable).

You can review, download, and even modify the code: it's hosted on GitHub. That's also where the licence terms can be found (it uses the Mozilla 2.0 Licence). As with most open-source tools, it is free to use but comes with no warranty. That extends to this hosted instance, and though I do all I can to ensure it is hosted securely, I can't take responsibility for security especially over any sensitive information. This instance works particularly well indeed for authorities bundles (which by nature contain public information).
